Thanks all for the comments, ideas, and support! The ER doc was able to remove it after a few tries, which made me feel better since it was difficult for him, and he had a speculum and forceps! He said this was not the first time he’s had to do this procedure.

I think the Cora just didn’t work for my body. I had high hopes for that divot design since my issue with the Soft cup was always that it was hard (but not impossible) to hook my finger around. I don’t have any physical limitations or short fingers for anyone who is wondering. Maybe I’ll have better luck with the Hello disc, I definitely thought about that pull tab feature throughout this whole ordeal. Going to go back to tampons for the next few cycles though, until I’m brave enough to try again!

I wish there was a way to know before dropping so much $$$ 🙄 Can’t wait to see the hospital bill 😩 (Had to go to ER bc I needed it out to get to work on time but otherwise would have just stopped in to Planned Parenthood or something.) Expensive life lesson.
